Still, it’s been a little unusual to see Bironas look human in some practices and the preseason opener.

A couple of Saturdays ago when the Titans practiced at LP Field, Bironas missed two straight field-goal attempts, sending one wide and clanging another off an upright. In Saturday’s 14-3 win over Minnesota, Bironas missed his only attempt, sending it wide left from 38 yards.

He also seems to have missed more than usual during camp, to the point that when he sent one wide in Monday’s practice, Bironas could be seen shaking his head. Special teams coach Alan Lowry approached with his arms outstretched and spoke briefly to Bironas.

“It’s one of (those things) that you don’t want to talk much about,” Coach Mike Munchak said. “You just kind of want to let him go and do his thing and it will work its way out. I won’t start worrying about that until it starts costing us games in some way.

“I think he will find his way. I have no idea what camp is like for a kicker. I just hope that he is getting enough work out here. We have confidence that when the time comes and we start playing he will be on his game.”
